What a lovely take on an underappreciated and underused Canon character! You've given her a terrific and very believable backstory that's definitely more appealing than the limited glimpses given in the original. The strong friendship between Aurora, Poppy and Charity is an especially pleasing addition, and the way you fit your story in with the events of the originals is splendid. :-) And good on her for working to make the future she wants come to pass, and wasn't Severus lucky that she had the determination to see it through? Good work, Mystery Author!
